Preferred Course(s):

Note: Terry Departments require individual review of non-equivalent transfer courses before they can be used to satisfy Area VI or major requirements.

Students must meet the following application eligibility requirements to be considered eligible to apply. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the BBA Accounting major.

Eligible for current enrollment at UGA: Applicants must be eligible for enrollment at the University of Georgia in the semester in which they apply to a Terry major.

Minimum GPAs: Applicants must be in "good academic standing" at UGA, meaning they must have a 2.0 or higher UGA GPA, or no UGA GPA for a new transfer student. Applicants must also have a 2.6 or higher earned overall GPA (transfer and UGA coursework combined).

MATH 1113: Applicants must have successfully completed or have earned an exemption for MATH 1113 or higher-level MATH course. A passing grade or exemption must be posted to your UGA academic record by the application deadline. ACCT 2101: Applicants must have successfully completed ACCT 2101. A passing grade or exemption must be posted to your UGA academic record by the application deadline. BUSN 3000 (formerly MSIT 3000): Applicants must have successfully completed or be currently enrolled in BUSN 3000 during the semester in which they are applying to their first Terry major.

Other Curriculum Requirements: Applicants need to have completed or be in the process of completing the BBA General Education Core Curriculum Areas I-VI, OR

Applicants need to have completed or be in the process of completing the BBA General Education Core Curriculum Area VI and have a minimum of 58 credit hours completed or in progress (not including P.E.). DegreeWorks is the official indicator to determine eligibility based on credit hours. To verify whether you meet this requirement, go to your DegreeWorks. If you are applying during the fall semester, then look at the line that says “120 Minimum Credits Required.” That line should say that you have at least 58 hours (or more). If you are applying during the spring semester and are registered to take courses during the following summer semester, you will need to exclude and subtract those summer hours from the number reported on the “120 Minimum Credits Required” line. If you are uncertain whether you meet this requirement, please consult with your academic advisor.

Note: In-progress coursework must be taken in the same semester in which students apply to their first Terry major (e.g., pre-registered summer coursework will not satisfy eligibility requirements for spring admissions).

IMPORTANT: If any of the above referenced coursework has not been posted to your UGA transcript, proof of coursework must be attached to the BBA application prior to the application deadline. Applicants who do not provide proof of coursework by the deadline will become ineligible. There is no guarantee of acceptance to any major in the Terry College of Business. Applicants are evaluated on the High-Demand Major Selection Criteria listed below. Acceptance in the major is contingent on satisfactory completion of in-progress work. Students who withdraw from any of the above required courses are at risk of having their major admission rescinded.

Grades in Accounting courses: Final course grades in ACCT 2101 (or equivalent) and ACCT 2102 (or equivalent). Applicants currently enrolled in ACCT 2102 will be evaluated based on the grade in ACCT 2101. Grades in Economics courses: Final course grades in ECON 2105 and/or ECON 2106 are considered. Applicants currently enrolled in one of these courses will be evaluated based on the grade in the completed course. Grades in Mathematics courses: Final course grades in MATH 1113, MATH 2200, MATH 2250, and MATH 2260 are considered.

Standardized Testing: Students are required to submit ACT or SAT and sub-scores to the University prior to being considered for admission to a major in the Terry College. In addition to required ACT/SAT scores, students may also supplement their application by submitting a score from the ETS Proficiency Profile if they believe that their ACT/SAT scores do not represent their current performance level. The ETS Proficiency Profile is a standardized, multiple-choice assessment of the academic skills - reading, writing, critical thinking, and mathematics. Contact University Testing Services to schedule an appointment. The ETS may only be taken a maximum of three times total in your career as a UGA student, and only the highest score will be considered in a student’s application.

Accounting Exam: This is a multiple-choice test that covers the content of ACCT 2101. Contact University Testing Services to schedule an appointment. The Accounting Exam may only be taken a maximum of three times total in your career as a UGA student, and only the highest score will be considered in a student’s application. Statement of Purpose: A brief essay (300-400 words) in which the applicant describes his/her interest in the major and his/her future goals.

Grades in prefix courses: Grades in courses previously completed in the prefix of the major to which the applicant is applying can be considered, but are not required, for admission to the major. Grades in the College’s Foundation First courses (FINA 3000, MARK 3000, MGMT 3000), as well as BUSN 3000, can be considered for all majors if completed. Consideration of the Foundation First courses mainly applies to students seeking to change or add Terry majors. It is beneficial to take these Foundation First courses at UGA. Terry Direct: UGA students who are in good standing with the Honors Program and apply to the Terry College of Business will be guaranteed their first choice of a first (primary) major within the Terry College. This guarantee does not apply to second, double, or co-majors. These requirements and criteria are subject to change in future academic calendar years.

A baccalaureate degree program must require at least 21 semester hours of upper division courses in the major field and at least 39 semester hours of upper division work overall.

Students in this major are prepared for accounting careers in private, public, or governmental organizations. Accounting education also provides an excellent background for non-business professions, such as law, and is a sound basis for advancement to top-level management positions.

Students should expect to commit to a minimum of four semesters to complete the required courses when they begin the major-level accounting courses. Students are expected to have completed the equivalent of ACCT 2101, Accounting Principles I, within one year before enrolling in ACCT 5000, Intermediate Accounting I; longer intervals may require a review or "audit" of the Accounting Principles material. Students are encouraged to participate in Beta Alpha Psi, the national honorary accounting fraternity, and NABA, the National Association of Black Accountants. All Accounting majors will prepare for their job search with information provided in ACCT 5700. Recruiting activities are highlighted with an Accounting Career Fair held fall semester.

Scholarships are awarded at the annual Spring Accounting Banquet. These awards are sponsored by various public accounting firms, industry, and organizations that support accounting education.

Internships are an integral part of the program; however, they are not required and are not guaranteed to a student.
